One of HEY’s specialities is Yoga for Stiffs, that is yoga for people, especially men, who do not have a lot of natural mobility.
My late yoga teacher, Roger Eischens, used to say, “Blessed are the stiff.” When you’re stiff, it’s easier to create strength than when you’re overmobile. Before an overmobile person can create significant strength, they must create stability, i.e. reduce hypermobility.
It’s also a lot easier to create mobility for a stiff person than to reduce mobility for someone who is overmobile.
Many people in our culture, especially women, have quite a few of overmobile joints. Unfortunately, most styles of movement don’t focus on reducing the range of movement in overmobile joints and, even if they did, most don’t have the tools to significantly reduce hypermobility.
By generating the internal actions of the bones with different focuses for different body types, HEY reduces the range of motion in the appropriate joints, and increases the range of motion in the appropriate joints.
